Anyone running z32 calipers over the 350z track rotor?

Thats my setup. I am using a caliper bracket from ebay. I need to know if 17" wheels will clear, I am currently using 18's and want to step down a size.

That setup should clear the barrel of the rim on a 17" rim, as it cleared my VS-KFs, but the spokes on mine would not clear as I have the standard face, not the big caliper face.

So if your wheel has good spoke design (like TE37s with the super concave face) then you should be fine.

All depends on the spoke design. Same as fitting any caliper on any car.

Yep.

They did not clear my Work Emotion XD9's (17x9.5 +17)

on the other hand they did clear Racing Sparco NT-R (17x9 +15) and Gram Lights 57 Max (17x9 +12)

Depends on the design of the wheel, u can't say for sure all 17's will fit


From what A Spec Logan told me, some wheels are designed to be used in the rear and have less barrel clearance. I suspect that means 9.5 or 10 inch wheels may be a problem, but the above wheels are all i have tried.

The 17x9 +35 FN01RC's and 17x9 +27 MB Comp's of mine both clear with plenty of room to the spokes.
